RIVER CRACRAFT NEWS

Heads back to practice squad Cracraft reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Cracraft is not eligible for any more elevations from Miami's practice squad after being activated for the team's first three games this season. Though he only played nine offensive snaps, the 27-year-old wideout hauled in an 11-yard touchdown on his lone targets during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills. Cracraft's performance over the past three weeks may have been enough to secure a depth role on the Dolphins' active roster moving forward.

Scores for second straight week Cracraft secured his only target for an 11-yard touchdown during Sunday's 21-19 win over the Bills.

Impact Cracraft has been elevated from the practice squad for all three of Miami's wins this season, with touchdowns in each of the last two weeks. The Dolphins now have to decide whether to sign Cracraft to the active roster, as he's no longer eligible to be a game-day elevation, and the 27-year-old has certainly made a case for himself as a depth option.

Heads back down to practice squad Cracraft reverted to the Dolphins' practice squad Monday, per the NFL's transaction log.

Impact Cracraft was promoted to Miami's active roster ahead of Sunday's win against the Ravens, catching one of his two targets for a two-yard receiving touchdown in the fourth quarter. However, the 27-year-old wideout played an overall limited role as he only lined up on 16 of the team's 71 offensive snaps in Week 2. Cracraft is now eligible for just one more gameday elevation after playing in each of the first two games for the Dolphins, and he could see similar usage in Week 3 if wide receiver Cedrick Wilson, who is considered day-to-day with a rib injury, sits out this coming Sunday against the Bills.
